TJones Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Torvald this is a historic church though, correct ? I know it's not the recent historic black church that burned down. This church is right on the tip of my tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 noIs it somewhere in the third ward, though not necessarily along Elgin? I'm thinking about the one two blocks south of Drexler's BBQ at Gray and Bastrop streets. There's another one just a couple blocks east of there, too...

TJones Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 YES, I knew it, I remember seeing the story on Channel 2 and just couldn't put it together. This is from awhile back. The black community leaders are trying to figure out how to get Govt. money to rebuild it, as well as donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
